PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR 2012 – 2018 & BEYOND Chapter 8: Urban Development & Design ‣ Ongoing Developments & Vacancy There are a number of unfinished and ongoing residential estates in the Boyle area such as Mockmoyne Heights (Green Street), Canal View (Canal Road) and Foxwood Manor (Warren Road), amongst others. See appended Map 13 Dealing with the legacy of unfinished estates in Boyle will be an issue over the lifetime of this LAP. RCC will, where legislation permits, seek to address issues relating to derelict and dangerous sites that are negatively impacting on residents living in, and in close proximity to, unfinished developments. Community led solutions to prominent unfinished residential sites may be an option in some cases, facilitated by the landowner and in co-operation with RCC where appropriate. RCC will consider innovative solutions, where appropriate, in such cases. Policies for Vacancy & New Residential Development Policy 82 Identify and facilitate the development and renewal of derelict sites and derelict buildings in a manner appropriate to the area. Policy 83 Encourage property owners / developers to improve the appearance of vacant / derelict / buildings, in particular in housing estates. The following measures should be considered: ‣ Simple maintenance (painting, cleaning, removal of vegetation, removal of defunct inappropriate signage, securing property to protect from vandalism, installation of temporary window displays). ‣ Screening or boundary treatment. Policy 84 Promote the reuse of small vacant sites within the town for pocket parks, temporary exhibitions etc. and the use of larger sites for community gardens, allotments etc. Objective for Vacancy & New Residential Development Objective 116 Request applicants to provide phasing plans in particular developments, which will ensure that a high percentage of the preceding phases are occupied before the commencement of subsequent phases. This would apply to all new residential developments over 10 dwellings. ‣ Landscape Considerations Landscaping is an integral part of any development and there is a need to ensure that existing trees are protected and integrated into the development and that new planting is well designed and adequately carried out. The potential of existing site features should be fully explored and planning applications should include an accurate landscape survey plan. Wherever practicable, existing healthy trees should be protected and retained. A tree survey shall normally be required and healthy specimens shall be preserved. Where other trees need to be removed, these shall be replaced at a ratio of 3 semimature trees of similar, indigenous species for each tree removed.

PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR 2012 – 2018 & BEYOND Chapter 8: Urban Development & Design Policy 87 Promote accessibility and local permeability by developments that connect with each other and are easy to move through, putting people before traffic and integrating land uses and transport. A landscaping plan should be provided with development applications. The landscaping plan should provide the following information: 1. Overall landscape design with details of both hard and soft landscaping. 2. Survey of all existing planting and drainage lines on the development site. 3. Details of the location, number and species names of all planting proposed to be retained, removed and/or planted on the site. All proposed planting should be suitable to the site and soil conditions.

Policy 86 Promote the continuity of street frontages and the enclosure of space by development, which clearly defines private and public spaces and has a hierarchy of open spaces: private, semi-private and public. Policy 88 Ensure that adequate open spaces and landscaping are established to structure developments, provide visual relief to built areas and to ensure adequate aspects and natural lighting to buildings. This landscaping will soften the impact and setting of development, provide a limit to its extent, a buffer between the development and adjacent land uses. Objectives for Architecture & Urban Design Objective 117 Require designers to; ‣ identify and recognise the essential elements of quality, which determine the character of an area, ‣ demonstrate that the proposed development has continuity and enclosure of spaces, and that public and private spaces are defined, and ‣ demonstrate the adaptability, diversity and mix of the proposed development. Objective 118 Ensure that all new developments and extensions or alterations to existing premises shall incorporate suitable site landscaping plans showing existing planting to be retained or removed and additional planting suitable to the site and soil conditions to be planted. Other measures to reduce or ameliorate impacts on surrounding land uses, including residential areas may also be required, where necessary. Boyle Local Area Plan 2012 – 2018 Page 117
